I've done it, but don't crave it. My Dad always, when using burger, would roll up a small ball of raw burger, salt it, and pop it in his mouth. About the only meat I habitually eat raw is fish, though, as sashimi.

My family used to serve raw beef open faced sandwhiches - ground round, raw onion, some type of strong stinky cheese and a slice of rye bread. But the beef came from our own cows.

I don't think I could bring myself to eat raw ground beef unless I bought the roast from a good quality place and then ground it myself. I am not opposed to raw food, but raw ground beef is a bit on the scary side as far as pathogens go. I do love steak tartare and sashimi though.

Wow, great to hear from you all. Thanks for the responses. I was never worried it would make me sick...I've been doing it for 30 years and so far so good. When I was a kid our beef was all conventional but over the past 10 years I get all my meat in bulk from the ranch. It's frozen but very fresh. I was mostly just curious. Sounds like not alone on this one. Guess what I'm having for breakfast Yummm....

I crave it. just walking past a field with cows in makes me hungry. Vitamin B6 is damaged by heat so maybe the cooking process is something that we need to skip now and again. Interestingly vitb6 is found in grains so maybe going grain free means we seek it elsewhere. listen to your inner animal nomnom.
